One of the biggest drug producers in the world, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the leader of the Mexican cartel Sinaloa, has been arrested by US government agents in Texas.
Zambada founded a criminal group with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who is currently imprisoned in the US.
Guzman’s son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez, was arrested with Zambada on Thursday, the US Department of Justice said.
In February, Zambada was charged by US prosecutors with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute fentanyl, a drug more powerful than heroin blamed for the US opioid crisis.
